Hearing the cloak's words, Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Oh? Truly in love? So that's why you came to find me, A Xue? I see, I see..."
Qian Renxue's face had turned completely red. She couldn't deny it at all, because after learning about the fifth level, only Qi Ling came to mind.
If Qi Ling can't help her pass this test, then Qian Renxue is certain that she will absolutely not be able to pass it.
"Alright, in that case, let's go." Qi Ling said, extending her hand to Qian Renxue. "Let's try and see if there's any genuine love between us."
Qian Renxue placed her hand in Qi Ling's hand, her face turning a terrifyingly red, as if painted with paint. Then, she and Qi Ling took a step together and stepped into the mud.
Surprisingly, the mud pit that looked like it could swallow them up at any moment was now incredibly stable. The two of them stood on it as if they were walking on flat ground, without feeling the slightest bit of the mud pit sinking into them.
The two held hands, and a strange power seemed to emanate from them, protecting them from being swallowed by the mud.
Gradually, the two of them crossed the mud and arrived at the center of the mud, where the lotus flower was.
Then, Qian Renxue slowly bent down to pick the white lotus flower. As expected, she easily picked Qian Renxue white lotus flower, as if everything had gone perfectly smoothly.
"No way? This Fifth Trial, is it really that simple?" Qi Ling looked at the lotus flower in Qian Renxue's hand and said helplessly, "Is it just walking over and picking the flower? A Xue, isn't this test a bit too easy?"
Qian Renxue was also completely bewildered. Logically speaking, although the previous tests weren't difficult, they weren't this ridiculously easy!
But at that moment, the mud beneath their feet suddenly changed! The force that had been protecting them vanished in an instant, and the two of them, standing on the mud, began to sink.
Startled, Qi Ling immediately tried to run away, but found that there was an extremely strong suction force coming from the mud, which not only dissolved all his strength, making it impossible for him to break free, but also kept pulling him down.
"What's going on? Didn't we pass the test?" Qi Ling asked in surprise.
Just then, the white cloak reappeared, this time standing before the two of them, and spoke in the same emotionless tone, "The Trial of True Love, part two: a test of life and death!"
"Now you have lost the protection of true love and have been corrupted by the Mud of Eternal Filth Mud of Eternal Filth, which will drag you into the mire, leaving you with no chance of survival!"
"Your only chance for redemption is to sacrifice each other! In other words, this is a test where only one person can survive! The decision is yours!"
Neither of them had imagined that the Trial of True Love would be so terrifying. Did one of them have to sacrifice themselves to prove their love? Such love was simply too horrible.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get out of the quagmire. As time went on, half of their bodies were already buried, making it impossible for them to escape on their own.
Both their Martial Soul and Soul Power were sealed by an unknown force. Moreover, Qi Ling's magical skills and treasures were also unusable. The two of them, stuck in the mud, were just like two ordinary people.
After struggling in vain, Qian Renxue said to Qi Ling, " Qi Ling, since that's the case, if only one of us can survive, I hope you can carry on my share of the journey!"
Qi Ling looked into Qian Renxue's eyes, and in Middle God, Qi Ling saw only the deepest determination and persistence. She had truly made up her mind to sacrifice herself so that Qi Ling could live on.
"Fool, how could I leave you behind and live alone?" Qi Ling laughed. " A Xue, from the very beginning, there were only two possibilities in this trial: either we live together, or we die together!"
"But Qi Ling, you and I are different. There are still many people in this world waiting for you. If you die, they will all be heartbroken!" Qian Renxue said. "I can't be so selfish. Even for those people, Qi Ling, you must live!"
Qi Ling then said, " A Xue, what are you saying? Don't you feel that there are many people in this world who care about you? If you die, many people will be heartbroken!"
"I know that if I die, it will indeed sadden many people, and may even cause many things to change irreversibly. In the worst case, the world may be destroyed!"
"But I'm a short-sighted person. I only want to cherish the people in front of me. If this is the only choice I have now, A Xue, I'd be happy to die with you," Qi Ling said.
It must be admitted that Qi Ling's words were both barbaric and unreasonable, and could even be described as quite irresponsible, but that was his true thought. There were indeed many people and things in this world worth being fascinated by, but all Qi Ling wanted to do now was cherish the people in front of him.
Feeling deeply moved by Qi Ling's sincere feelings, Qian Renxue laughed and said, " Qi Ling, you're so irresponsible! And you're such a bad guy, aren't you afraid I'll fall in love with you by saying these things?"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Hehe, haven't you fallen in love with me yet? Then I'm going to be heartbroken."
Suddenly, the cloak seemed to have had enough and pulled the two out of the mud. It didn't even wait for them to be completely buried in the mud, clearly having had its fill of dog food.
Sitting on the solid ground, Qi Ling couldn't help but look at the cloak and laugh, "What's wrong? Why did you release us so quickly? Angel God, are you perhaps someone who's never been in a relationship?"
The cloak seemed unconcerned by Qi Ling's words, and instead declared to himself, "Your true love has moved the Angel God. I hereby declare that you have passed the Fifth Trial of the Angel Nine Trials!"
After the two finished speaking under the cloak, Qian Renxue immediately underwent a change. Her fifth Soul Ring turned golden, indicating that she was getting closer to the legendary goal.
At the same time, Qian Renxue's Soul Power increased by three levels, reaching level eighty-three, while Qi Ling's Soul Power also increased by one level, reaching level seventy-eight!
